The Salk lnstitute for Biological Studies is one of the world’s preeminent research institutions and its campus is also world famous architecturally. Stellar Solar was therefore honored to be chosen to design and install its new 500kW PV solar system, which will cover the roof area of all four major buildings on campus but will not be visible from the ground, a key requirement. Stellar was selected because it was a local firm with a proven track record of success, according to Tim Ball, the lnstitute’s senior director of facilities services. 11We wanted to work with a firm that could integrate themselves easily into our existing work on a weekly basis. Stellar has theknow-how to do that,” he said.
